  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure sufficient time for check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, find a coffee spot, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
